Transfer Credits

Should you choose to continue your education after you leave CVTC, we have agreements in place with several institutions to ensure an easy transfer. Just because we don't have a partnership agreement with a college or university, doesn't mean your credits won't transfer. Contact the transfer coordinator at the college or university to which you plan to transfer to help make a smooth transition from CVTC.

Focus On Student Success

I applied for a "Weekend Warehouse Work" job. They saw I was attending CVTC that semester for Maintenance and interviewed and offered me a job for that position. Allowed me to work strictly weekends while in school and gave me a raise upon graduation. Thank you CVTC for all that you do!
